And this is the reason why I have never been a fan of "jocks" making fun of ballet or saying that ballet is not a sport! Link to comment
volcanohunter Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Gronkowski is a very good, um, sport. Link to comment
sohalia Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 What really made me laugh was when she was trying to correct him and she was just too short she had to jump Link to comment
Deflope Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Surprisingly, a lot of football players take ballet as it improves their flexibility and footwork. The multi-talented Herschel Walker even appeared onstage with the Fort Worth Ballet (Now Texas Ballet Theater) Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I remember that, in the late 1980s. This is interesting, watch the whole thing - http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-videos/09000d5d8294a56e/Films-Encore-When-football-meets-ballet Link to comment

The multi-talented Herschel Walker even appeared onstage with the Fort Worth Ballet (Now Texas Ballet Theater) When I was a student at the University of Washington in the mid-1970s, my ballet teacher (Eve Green) invited several members of the football team to join the beginning level classes -- they were often surprised at how difficult seemingly easy things were, but they were very respectful of the work. I don't follow sports, so I don't know if any of them felt these experiences improved their football skills, but they were willing to try. Link to comment
